Where is a beach in san francisco area?

Travel Info
I have been looking for a beach and can not find any beaches in that area.

At the end of Fisherman's Wharf and down from Ghirardelli Square, there is a large beach you can go to.

Get there early on the weekends, it fills up quickly.

Stinson Beach is beautiful... you have to cross the Golden Gate and take 1 all the way through Marin.. then you will see the exit for Stinson Beach. It is usually the most sunny beach compared to Ocean Beach (in the sunset district in SF... take VanNess make a left on Geary and take it down for like 20 blocks until you hit the ocean...) and then there is my favorite ...it is a small secluded clothing optional beach but beautifull..... pass san francisco, pass daly city and pacificA and then you will see the view of the beaches along the highway on the right side... the beach is small i forget the name but all along that highway is beaches. Good luck!
Ocean Beach is filthy. Go to Chrissy Fields by the GG Bridge.
Baker beach, China Beach and Land's End Beach

To reach Baker Beach from downtown San Francisco, you board the 38 outbound Muni bus (on Market Street) headed west. When you reach 25th Avenue, transfer to the 29 bus headed north and get off at Baker Beach. By car, drive west on Geary Boulevard, turn right at 25th Avenue, turn right onto Lincoln Boulevard, and turn left at the sign to Baker Beach.

North Side is the best...

When I go to Lands End Beach, I do so for the great hike along the rugged bluffs the curve around to Lands End. San Francisco Lands End Beach offers great views of the rugged coastline the picturesque Marin Headlands (across the Golden Gate) and the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge in the distance. On one of the bluffs above Lands End Beach, a meditation maze provides an interesting amusement.

To reach Lands End, take the Muni bus #38 to Point Lobos, then walk downhill to the parking lot on the right. Walk through the parking lot to access the trailhead that leads to the beach.

San Francisco China Beach is a small cove located in the ritzy Seacliff neighborhood. Since gold rush times, the cove was used as a campsite for the Chinese fishermen who work on the San Francisco Bay. China Beach is one of two small and somewhat isolated beaches in San Francisco. It is bordered by high coastal cliffs, giving China Beach a very secluded feel and making it perfect for sunbathing. San Francisco China Beach is also perfect for beachgoers who are looking for a more intimate, less crowded beach going experience. San Francisco China Beach amenities include picnic tables, barbecue pits, restrooms and a telephone.

China Beach is a few blocks walk from the Muni bus #1 and #29 lines and is just off of Seacliff Avenue.
